Elena Merlina - Paint The World Tour
Paint The World Tour
Hi there - my name is Elena, an Italian Artist sailing the globe. Join me on my Paint the World Tour to discover how I'm using driftwood to showcase my travels
MessageCollection: 11. Chart Collection
Nautical charts were one of my first artistic undertakings after I moved aboard our sailboat in 2014. I moved aboard with absolutely no art supplies or tools, but after a few months a fellow sailor in Tonga gifted me his watercolor set. I still had nothing to paint on until Captain Doug suggested I paint on some old Nautical Charts he had on board. The effect was amazing! As we sailed through Micronesia I painted various scenes and people we met, and created my first collection. After arriving in Malaysia I attended local art markets and showcased these pieces in various galleries. The success was instant and I now wish I had photographed all my pieces before selling. This was the start to my Paint The World Tour!
